Yang, Junfeng; Yu, Huiju; Gong, Chaohua; Chen, Nian-Shing – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017

Based on this theory, it could be deduced that teacher's teaching behavior was a result of both teacher's personality and classroom environment. Considering the challenges of pedagogy transformation and the modest use of…
